If you’re planning to sell your home in the coming years, there are likely a few areas that need updating. It’s common to take on a bathroom remodeling project before putting your home on the market. However, some homeowners wonder whether the finished product increases your home value and helps attract buyers. This guide explains how an updated bathroom will help you in the long run.

A Guide to Investing In a Bathroom Remodel

What Is the Return on Investment?

According to Consumer Reports, homeowners can expect a return of 2-3% on bathroom improvements. About 42% of real estate professionals reported that the bathroom is the most crucial part of the home to keep in good shape. A new or recently remodeled bathroom is highly appealing for home buyers since it is likely to see the most frequent daily use of all the rooms in the house.

You may not expect to get back every dollar spent, but a bathroom renovation is one of the best home improvement projects to consider when looking to increase the value of your home.

Can New Bathrooms Sell Your Home?

Even clean and well-maintained older bathrooms can look worn and potentially outdated. It’s time to make repairs if your bathrooms show signs of mold, or have cracked or loose tiles, water damage, and issues with fixtures or plumbing. Home inspectors may require these issues to be fixed before selling and buyers may also offer a lower price for the home.

Bathroom remodeling could give you an edge against newer homes for sale in your area. It won’t be the only aspect under consideration, but a quality bathroom may nudge home buyers in the right direction. A spacious master bathroom equipped with luxury features or a finished basement bathroom could be the final check on a potential buyer’s must-have list.
